Flu Time Again !!!!!

HALEY · 11-06-2008, 09:59 AM

What a flipping week i had since last Thursday, Micah got the flu, Thank God his fever broke yesterday finally, i had to rotate Motrin and Tylenol every four hours, luke warm baths all the time, i would be waking up at 2 am to find him burning up next to me off the the bath tub for a nice bath.. oh boy, then i got it right after him its no picnic taking care of a baby while your sick..... Now Mike has it, and he's been working 10 hour days now everyday.. cause he got behind. oh forgot a funeral in between all this crap, Mikes grandmother passed away...
At least im starting to feel better and Micah also, But Mike is bad i really think he has a sinus infection, but he can't take time off work to even go see a doctor his boss is bitching they need to get this job done, so the poor man is so sick working 10 hours a day everyday now...

Hope your family gets better soon. Did y'all have flu shots?

I've had a stomach bug since Sunday evening, went home early on Monday, out Tuesday, better yesterday, queasy again today. Hubby and I are carpooling, so I'm waiting for him to come take me home.

HALEY · 11-06-2008, 10:23 AM

No, no flu shoots, none of us in my family can take them they make us very ill my cousin almost died with the flu shoot.. Nope....

Wow Haley, it's awful when sickness runs through a family. I'm always afraid it will start all over again. Will Mike's Dr. call something in for him? My Dr. will for me, but not for my husband or son. I usually get the same thing so he calls in a zpac for me.

I hope you all get to feeling better really quick. Sandy..you too. I can take different sicknesses but having the stomach flu is the worst. Feel better soon!!

I love that kind of cough medicine...LOLOL..

I do have to say though that every year I get a horrible nasty cough. One that lasts for weeks on end and every time I cough...sorry, but I pee. It was just horrible.

BUT....since I've stopped smoking...I haven't had that cough at all. I'm so glad I don't do that any more. I wish I would have quit a long time ago.

Now I only pee when I get a good laugh...LOLOL (or at a normal time)...lolol

I was starting to wonder where you were, Haley. I'm so sorry that all of you are sick. I can remember times that I was sick and taking care of kids, even sick kids. I always prayed that my husband would catch stuff first because then he would be much more sympathetic and helpful. I know that's mean but otherwise he thought that I could just handle everything on my own, even when sick. I hope that everyone gets better soon.

Thanks Diana, i'm feeling better, Micah is getting there, but Mike is bad now,, and he is such a BABY when he is sick, he's getting on my last nerve! I'm trying to be patient with him... but he's pushing it... It felt like forever before Micah's fever broke, i felt so bad for him, he would just cry and cry and cry... i just rocked him until he fell asleep, you just feel so useless... its heatbreaking....

Tiramisu · 11-06-2008, 11:35 AM

Diana, that's an awesome thought for the Hubby to get sick first. Mine literally goes into hibernation when he gets "sick". I am seeing that my Hubby is learning to be more helpful since I've been off my feet lately.

ugh I hear ya, I have something too and can't take time off of work. Ive eaten nothing but a banana yesterday some Lipton ring-o-noodle soup and some mashed potatoes. Today only a banana and mashed potatoes all day. This is no fun. Im starving but nothing will stay with me. Not to mention, have you noticed how many food commercials there are on tv? I never noticed until I was STARVING and couldn't eat. Me and my boyfriend are both sick with some kind of stomach bug and neither of us can eat much and hold it down or in, but last night we were watching tv and wishing we could have pizza, a sub, ham, turkey dinner, friendlys, chilis, outback, subway, dominoes! LOL

HALEY · 11-13-2008, 10:29 AM

I know, i'm still not feeling good, Micah goes to the doctors tonight to check on his ear infections, my husband is ok, he had a big glob of ear wax stuck in his ear, it was so gross to watch them trying to flush that out of his ear, men are so gross, they never wash there hands or clean there ears don't know why, i'm always on him to clean his ears and wash his hands... yuk!!!!!

OH WOW... my bf is the total opposite. He uses 4 Q-tips every morning to clean his ears.

LOL Ive never seen anything like it! he must have the cleanest ears around! We literally now buy Q-tips at BJs superstore so we get like 4 huge containers at once! LOL

OH I soooo hope Micah gets better quick after his doctors visit tonight! Sick babies are sooo sad, they can't tell you whats wrong or where it hurts.
